BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND GO OFF WHEN STOPPING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS FROM BEHIND. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS AND I LET THEM KNOW I KNOW. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT TWICE AT A DELAERSHIP AND "FIXED" BUT THEN BEGINS AGAIN WITHIN THE WEEK. I DO NOT WANT TO GET KILLED DUE TO THIS FAULTY SYSTEM BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

STEERING
2006 PONTIAC G6 V6 --WHEN I STARTED MY CAR IT ACTED FINE. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT APPROX. 15-20MPH THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE RADIO AND BEEPED AT ME. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE STREET INTO A PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON OVER THE RADIO AGAIN. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND HAD I BEEN GOING ANY FASTER IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. TAKING THE CAR INTO THE SHOP TOMORROW. *TR

2006 PONTIAC G6, 4CYL. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IS FAILING ON THIS CAR. WITH A QUICK RESEARCH ON GOOGLE I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE AND ACCIDENTS ARE OCCURRING. THE RECALL ON THE COBALT, G5 AND OTHER CARS HAVE THE SAME POWER STEERING ASSIST. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THE PONTIAC G6? *TR

STEERING
MY POWER STEERING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON IN MY 2005 G6 WITH 68,000. I HAVE LOST MY ABILITY TO STEER 3 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. SINCE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE G5 WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THE G6 WHICH HAS THE EXACT SAME POWER STEERING UNIT? WHILE I'M AT IT CAN GM PLEASE RECALL THE TUBING FOR THE SUN ROOF THAT PULLS APART AND THEN LEAKS IN THE CAR DURING EVERY RAIN? COME ON PEOPLE STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT OR STOP MAKING THEM. *TR
